"A new world needs a new you, so no matter how bad things get, keep planting flowers."
On January 10th, 2025, OC's Stick To Your Guns will release their new album, Keep Planting Flowers, via SharpTone Records, driving home a significant message of finding a light and sense of purpose amidst the turmoil of life's everyday circumstances. The band's signature brand of hardcore feels urgent and even more so intense this time around. There's much to be felt and learned from here, and it all starts with the striking image of a young girl watering a plant while wearing a hazmat mask.
Frontman Jesse Barnett comments on the new record:
"Keep Planting Flowers is a collection of songs that exist to spite the nihilistic narrative that plagues our minds and societies. One that says things are just the way that they are and that regardless of the burning rage or depthless depression that this fills us with, there is simply nothing we can do about it. I militantly reject such a joyless outlook on the one life that I get the honor of living. A new world needs a new you, so no matter how bad things get, keep planting flowers."
